Winter's Coming for the Boomers: Part 2

The real problem is greed. I read that they want to patent medicines for 13 years longer so they won't have generics to deal with for that 13 years and can charge what they want without competition.

Most of our leaders seem to think profit is the big thing, but they need to consider quality of life, too.

Price controls are one solution but the leaders are afraid of them.

Common sense is missing in our leaders too.

The elderly need to remind the young that we paid from every paycheck into Social Security, usually about 45 years by the time we retired. We were promised we would get a monthly check for paying in.

There will be plenty of money to pay for Social Security retirement. It is the add ons they added over the years that is causing problems. People shouldn't have to work longer to draw it, the jobs are needed for the young with families.

I honestly believe this crisis is being created by Wall Street so we will have to invest in their stocks for retirement. I don't want to be dependent on them.

The natural gas pipes run across our part of the country and they are about an inch and a half in diameter and they are on top of the ground. That could easily be done quickly.

Besides that we have stored oil for emergencies.

The Dollar's Decline: Taking Responsibility for the Future

The writer, Menzie Chinn, is just whining.

Phil Grahm, McCain's economic advisor, thinks we are all whiners. Don't you know everything is doing great?

Lowering Prices at the Pump

I have always heard that if you keep the speed below 50 mph, that will make a huge difference, but you can't do it on many highways.

Town driving, stopping for lights, uses the most gas.
